Software Development Engineer/Senior Software Development Engineer, Agentic Systems, AI for Drug Discovery

About this role

A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Roche.

Advances in AI, data and computational sciences are transforming drug discovery and development. Roche’s Research and Early Development organizations at Genentech (gRED) and Pharma (pRED) have demonstrated how these technologies accelerate R&D, leveraging data and novel computational models to drive impact. Seamless data sharing and access to models across gRED and pRED are essential to maximising these opportunities. The Computational Sciences Center of Excellence (CS CoE) is a strategic, unified group whose goal is to harness the transformative power of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist our scientists in both pRED and gRED to deliver more innovative and life-changing medicines for patients worldwide.

The Opportunity

Within AI for Drug Discovery, the Software Engineering team builds and operates software platforms that put advanced models and computational tools into the hands of scientists. Our focus is on developing technology and deploying reliable, intuitive solutions that are adopted by users and create measurable impact across drug discovery. We are seeking a very talented Software Development Engineer to help build our agentic platform for molecule design. The platform enables scientists to use AI agents, computational models, scientific tools, and internal data sources together in coordinated workflows that support the design and evaluation of therapeutic molecules. In this role, you will develop production-quality software, integrate scientific and machine learning capabilities, and improve the experience of scientists using the platform. You will collaborate with software engineers, machine learning researchers, computational scientists, product managers, and dru...
